Very good.

start grinding cohibas

More Nanny State Fascism! Remember they are smarter than you so do what they say!!!!

Good move Professor Ydanis.

Yes, it is bad when you walk out of a building and people are smoking outside. Glad they banned it at night clubs and restaurants already!

Funny how people are sooooo quick to ban things they don't like.

Just wait till they want to ban something you like!!!

Can't smoke inside, can't smoke outside where do I go for quick puff?

I guess chewing tobacco or snuff is a new potential growth market.

I will use your own tactics here and say smokers break my rights as a non-smoker to have to smell their bad habits there for we can't allow some people special rights to cause harm to others essentially. If they want to smoke then fine but do it in your own space where they is zero possibility of harming or making other uncomfortable because that would be breaking somebody else's rights.
Right?

I remember when I use to walk out of a night club, I could not even keep my eyes open from all of the smoke. Its good to like thing as long as they do not affect others

anthonyc
I use to like talking on my cell in the car, but they have banned that too... You are not in DR anymore where you can do as you wish

In Seattle smoking indoors was such a big problem that many times when I went out into a night club I had to throw away the clothes i wore that night. I was so happy. If they want to smoke then fine do it in their house or they can buy a enclosed glass box to avoid others being expose to their bad habits.

"The legislation notes that “second hand smoke” in public spaces poses a health risk to those nearby."

If that's the logic they're employing then they better ban exhaust from vehicles, which cause far more harm outdoors than someone's cigarette...ridiculous.

belly,
It also was bad leaving the club with a woman that her entire body smelled like a cigarette...

OK Ban public smoking because the smells bother you.

Then ban perfumes and colognes....Some are terrible.
Ban Bachata because it is a terrible assault on my ears
Ban White guys with Dreadlocks because they look stupid.
Ban fat girls in Tube tops because they are unpleasant to look at.
Ban Rosie O'Donnell.....No explanation needed.

BTW I am against the ban on Cell Phone usage while driving.
I am for banning incompetent drivers who can't talk and drive at the same time.

For those who don't like the smell of cigarettes in a club........F*ck off and go someplace else. It is a private business. If they want to allow smoking it is their business. To force them to ban it is just another form of Fascism!!!

If you can prove the things you mentioned are harmful with the backing of a research with facts and figures. Then I will support your "ideas" too.


On a side note: DT should ban dumb comments because is harmful to other people's time.

is nt this the newly minted jackass who blamed the police last month for shooting the EDP in Washington Hts.?

This is the reason why I have said that reading comprehension is not your thing. Here you are posting a link that contradicts what you are trying to convey to the people here.

Here is a quoted text from the link you posted :

"One public service announcement proclaims, "When you smoke, you're not the only one being harmed." That's not a myth. Studies that followed nonsmokers who lived with smokers found some increase in lung cancer and heart disease."

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=1955237&page=1

Reading and understanding is essential to any understanding.

anthonyc, you are an an idiot par excellence. a night club might be privately owned , but it is a PUBLIC business. it falls under the proper purview of a department of the city , or state. there are rules laid out by the city for the conduct of such a business. and it is idiotic to equate something unpleasant to some, to something which has been scientifically proven to constitute a danger to others. in your everlasting arrogance, you believe that you should be allowed to conduct your affairs in any fashion which suits, and pleases, YOU. i have no idea what it is that makes you so inportant, because, from reading your postings, you are just an ignorant poseur and wannabe. if you do not wish to live by rules which are designed to assure public safety, go live on your own island, and leave civilised people to their own devices.

Dready.

A nightclub is a PRIVATE ENTITY.

AC

Why should a non-smoker change their life style just because some irresponsible person decided to pick the bad habit of smoking. The hypocrisy of your statements has to win a prize here. The other days when we were talking about health care you said that "smokers are responsible for picking the bad habits" and healthcare companies shall not be held responsible for their actions, fine. Now once the city decides to take the same action and trying to protect the general public from a person with bad habits, all of a sudden hell breaks loose in your own little world. Responsible people shall not have to change their life style to accommodate irresponsible ones. Is the other way around when you decide to take the wrong choices, smoker should fit into the normal world.

ok, anthonyc. go peg off a few rounds from your glock in a nightclub, and see if you do not get charged with discharging a firearm in a public place.

Belly,

Why should a smoker be forced to change their lifestyle because you are a duche!

Dready,

You really hate other people's freedom.
If the owner of a Private Property wants to allow people to fire off weapons(Even a POS like a Glock) than who the F*ck are you to say they can't?
As long as nobody outside the property or unaware are hurt then it is 100% up to them.

So go and peddle your FASCISM and RACISM elsewhere!

BELLY, never argue with a fool, because, at a distance, nobody can tell the difference.

I was debating whether to answer to AC or not but I will take up on the offer after hearing AnthonyC's last comment.

As I said earlier I would love for DT to start the banning of dumb comments in this public web site. Since they are privately owned I'm sure AC shouldn't complain and would make a lot of people happy.

well, Belly, you have to appreciate DT for its very liberal position regarding the content of postings. over at the other site, they would have run this fool out of the forum a long time ago.

yea lets banned smoking , because smoking are the real issues of today lol ,now i got my own smoking problem I've been trying to quit for the longest but this is just a ploy to get approval ratings and mass appeal .

“second hand smoke in public spaces poses a health risk to those nearby"

So does driving!

Hey I've got a unique idea to go GREEN ALL THE WAY, let's ban HUMANS....

This people , f... yeah its good that they are planning that , no one has to make me smoke just because they do, or stink because they do...and for MR i know everything Ac, the problem you have with bachata can be solve if u plug your ears, with the fat people tell them and see how it goes .....people talking on the cell while they drive....you def have to be one of them ....

Si que prohiban la fumadera esa , no solo por el olor, ni por el dano k lo hacen a los k fuma/los k compraten sin fumarlo....cojollito cuantos pesos/dollars gasta un ser humano esto al ano....

Bannnnnnnnnn that sh....

drinfo, in the interest of polite conduct, maybe you should consider buggering off to the classifieds section.

This is getting way ridiculous!!!

Where are the rights of the smokers? IT IS OK to ban cigarettes from closed spaces like restaurants, bars and the likes, but in open areas like parks and streets are way ridiculous.

Second hand smoking only occurs in closed spaces not open spaces.

If it is breathing pure air that they want to achieve, let's ban cars (can you imagine car exhaust in enclosed spaces?), let’s ban painting in buildings and houses very toxic, roofing tar and other roofing materials, black tops in the streets, let's ban perfume and all type of fragrances (many people are allergic to them), let's ban playing low radios in the streets and inside the houses (second hearing loose), let's ban all plastics for most are a hazard (VOC's and end up disrupting the food chain).

Councilman Ydanis is trying to help the community, but he has to realize Dominicans hardly smoke. Dominicans HAVE A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAN SMOKING, and that is the high consumption of alcohol (which is waaaaaaaaay more dangerous than smoking), and or course the other problem of loud music playing causing second hand hearing loose, ever wonder why some Dominicans talk soooo loud?? Well, is being exposed to loud noises, the worst, most do not know is hearing loose.

Are they going to do like San Francisco. Those super liberals almost made cigarettes illegal then promoting to legalize marijuana. Smoking is bad, super bad, but we cannot ban smoking to later legalize something even worse like smoking marijuana.

@Belly

The day they make evangelicals with megaphones yelling their crap on street corners illegal, I will happily stop smoking in outdoor public areas.
